ThinkPad X1 Carbon (3rd Gen.) Broadwell

I cannot reveal my source or I will get into trouble, but trust me, these specs are official.

 

What about prices and eta in Europe?

 

I don't have any ETA or prices for any region.

That's a tiny space bar! I don't understand what are the keys that are responsible for the shrink.

 

I'm hoping that the keyboard shown is a special Asian edition that has a compressed keyboard. Maybe the English version will have a regular keyboard.

The keyboard shown is a Japanese layout (because ThinkPad development is in Japan) - see for example this Japanese T430s: http://thehikaku.net/pc/lenovo/image/t430s-key1.jpg

 

I didn't pay much attention initially but, look, there is Ctrl in the left bottom corner! ?! Where is Fn???!!!

 

Seems to me like a render picture, where someone removed the Adaptive keyboard row and added the TrackPoint buttons, but forgot to correct the rest of keyboard layout - a Photoshop fail. Rest assured, the new X1 Carbon will have an FN key, without one, you couldn´t use it - and it won´t have 2x Home and End...

 

Let me respectfully disagree.

Take a look onto Carbon 2nd gen keyboard -- it does not have dedicated Fn key either. To me, it looks like somebody who designed 3rd gen keyboard decided to keep the combined Esc + Fn key as it was there on the 2nd gen! Read key captions, they speak the same -- Fn moved away from Ctrl towards Esc
